Apex Legends finally nerfing aim assist in Season 22 Respawn\/EAApex Legends will, at last, be nerfing aim assist in Season 22, with Respawn admitting that it has been \u201ctoo strong\u201d in the last few seasons. Over the last few years, Respawn Entertainment has had to combat a few different problems within Apex Legends. Cheaters have, at times, run wild, but that\u2019s not all. The game\u2019s servers have struggled to cope with the demand, and players are always wanting fresh content. However, there has been another constant bugbear \u2013 aim assist. With Apex having crossplay lobbies, PC players have complained that they\u2019re on the back foot against controllers. Many pros have even made the switch from keyboard and mouse to a controller as well. Despite players making calls to outright remove aim assist, Respawn aren\u2019t and won\u2019t do that. However, they will nerf it in the brand-new Season 22. And, it\u2019ll be a significant nerf as well. Respawn have confirmed that aim assist is currently \u201ctoo strong,\u201d especially when it comes to PC players using controllers, and are reducing it\u2019s strength by 25%. They believe that will bridge the gap for players in crossplay lobbies, while keeping an even playing field and competitive integrity. As noted, it\u2019s been a bit of a long time coming for an aim assist nerf. Respawn last touched on it prior to Season 18, admitting they had plans to change it but were unsure as to when. Obviously, it has become so annoying that it is finally time for the developers to take action. Plenty of players, especially in the professional scene, have claimed that aim assist is simply \u201cunfair.\u201d Others have likened it to a \u201csoft aimbot\u201d that some players use as a crutch in their gameplay. If these changes don\u2019t pan out, then the Apex devs will have to go back to the drawing board. But, for now, it is a positive and welcome change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
